To find articles matching your search terms, limit search results to Articles from Format options. To find journals matching your search terms, limit search results to Journals from Format options. For best results, use the subject field of advanced search to find journals in your research area. 

As newspapers are classified as general coverage, the library catalog is not the best tool for finding newspaper articles. However, it can be used to find secondary and tertiary analysis. For best results, use kw: (your topic) AND su: (news coverage)

If you know the title of the publication, enter it directly in the search bar. Or, browse by discipline at the lower part of the Publication Finder page. To browse newspapers, select General Works from the subjects list and filter for Newspapers. For newspapers, use the new Publication Finder database instead of the search box below.

Political Science Reviewer (abstracts only)

The Political Science Reviewer is a beacon in the often-murky world of professional political science journals. Unencumbered by any of the reigning orthodoxies, the PSR welcomes the evidence of empirical study, but upholds the primacy of theoretical understanding. The PSR is an annual journal featuring essay-length reviews of classic and contemporary studies in law and politics, as well as examinations of leading political science textbooks. Each review provides in-depth evaluation without a narrow, over-specialized focus.

PS: Political Science & Politics

PS: Political Science & Politics provides critical analyses of contemporary political phenomena and is the journal of record for the discipline of political science reporting on research, teaching, and professional development. PS, begun in 1968, is the only quarterly professional news and commentary journal in the field and is the prime source of information on political scientists' achievements and professional concerns.
